[root@panther ~]#

As you can see livna URL does not make sense. There is some kind of dns problem, that nyc.com overwrites  that domain.

Our first step is to find livna URL.

[root@panther ~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[root@panther yum.repos.d]# ls
adobe-linux-i386.repo  fedora-rawhide.repo.rpmnew  fedora-updates.repo          livna.repo                   rpmfusion-free.repo          rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo  rpmfusion-nonfree.repo          rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo
fedora-rawhide.repo    fedora.repo                 fedora-updates-testing.repo  rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo  rpmfusion-free-updates.repo  rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide.repo       rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo
[root@panther yum.repos.d]# cat livna.repo 
[root@panther yum.repos.d]# 

Our first step is to find livna URL. Once we parse the above file, we will see that http://rpm.livna.org is not reachable.

This is a temporary glitch, and our livna mirrors will take over.

Just disregard this problem. Let's wait for DNS fix.
